See the "genericstable" entry on this page:


http://www.moongroup.com/docs/sendmail/m4/features.html

Here's the text:

This feature will cause certain addresses originating locally (i.e. that
are unqualified) or a domain listed in $=G to be looked up in a map and
turned into another ("generic") form, which can change both the domain
name and the user name. This is similar to the userdb functionality. The
same types of addresses as for masquerading are looked up, i.e. only
header sender addresses unless the allmasquerade and/or
masquerade_envelope features are given. Qualified addresses must have
the domain part in the list of names
given by the macros GENERICS_DOMAIN or GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE (analogously
to MASQUERADE_DOMAIN and
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN_FILE, see below).

The argument of FEATURE(`genericstable') may be the map definition; the
default map definition is:

                            hash -o /etc/genericstable 

The key for this table is either the full address or the unqualified
username (the former is tried first); the value is the new user address.
If the new user address does not include a domain, it will be qualified
in the standard manner, i.e. using $j or the masquerade name. Note that
the address being looked up must be fully qualified. For local mail, it
is necessary to use FEATURE(`always_add_domain') for the addresses to be
qualified.
